DORA EAGLAN'S STORY.
The Legislative Committee Begins an Inves-
tigation Into Her Case.

Yesterday morning the door Of the House COM
mittee investigating the management of the
State benevolent institutions was opened, and a
blind girl was conducted to the witness chair at
the end of long table opposite the chairman.
General Grose. Dora Eaglan is the girls name
and she bore in her arms her babe, born in the
Bartholomew county poor-house, Feb. l. little
more than month ago. The child was illegit-
innate. The girls story was that she had been
betrayed while student in the Indiana Institute
for the Blind by porter employed there. Miss
Amy LOOMS, teacher in the institute who had
charge of the floor on which the girl lived, tes-
tilted that no parties were allowed in that part
OF the building Miss LOOMS said the Eaglan
girl was untruthful and wholly unreliable. Su-
perintendent Nolan, Of the Bartholomew county
poor asylum, and John Stubo, township trustee,
both testified that her reputation for morality
was very bad there. The investigation will be
continued to-day.
